Answer to Question 2

Better educated parents tend to encourage their children to perform better and take more time discussing current events. They also tend to speak and communicate at a higher level than other parents. The better educated the parent, the more likely they are to have a higher income and therefore they are able to afford better schools and activities such as camps for their children. This will encourage their children to be more eager to learn.
